On this particular point, Shuhei's way off base there.
He claims that Nintendo is about "creating new experiences" and that a stronger Switch doesn't do that, yet he's overlooking both the addition of mouse controls which enables new experiences, and the fact that Nintendo has made stronger iterative hardware before and that the new experiences come primarily from their first party software, not necessarily from a new hardware feature.
It's just not sustainable to expect them to throw out all their previous success in order to reinvent the wheel every generation, this can backfire spectacularly for instance as it did for Wii U.
By his logic, SNES or GBA would be Nintendo "losing their identity" too since those were just more powerful versions of NES/Gameboy.
